This is the first time I've booked a flight on AA using my AS number since we joined oneworld and for my flight tomorrow, my boarding pass lists me as Priority / Platinum Pro! I don't know if that now means I'm in the third tier for upgrades because I don't see an upgrade waitlist on the app. Maybe not seeing an upgrade waitlist is telling enough? I'm currently seated in MCE. I'll report back if anything changes - currently see 15 seats in Business.

UPDATE: my trip was a bust due to my flight being cancelled. My replacement flight still listed me as Priority / Platinum Pro and this time the app showed a waitlist but I didn't see my name on the upgrade list.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
